The other week (or two ago) my little fam tried out a restaurant called Dixie Grill, not far from where we live. It's a Southern-food type of joint, casual, fun (& they play country music, you just can't go wrong!) I admit, I was a little hesitant because there are little to no Southern restaurants in Hawaii and rightly so-- it's hard to do Southern food justice in Hawaii [at least I would imagine]
I love that you are served popcorn as soon as you sit down!

Sweet tea= my new favorite pregnancy drink! Alongside with Outback Steakhouse's lava flow mocktail
Mac & Cheese for the little monkey (who ALWAYS orders this, even after I read the entire kids menu to her) and frickles! Surprisingly good.
Beef brisket and pulled pork, he was a happy camper
Some kind of chicken sandwich ... not bad, but I'm not a huge sandwich eater in the first place
I love how casual it is .. little miss can scamper around the restaurant and we didn't feel as pressured to get her to stay seated and quiet!
I liked it so much we've gone back at least twice since then! My poor mom was not a fan and I dragged her there :( I do have to say that I think it's a little sad that so many military families/couples head to Dixie Grill for Southern food -- probably b/c it's one of the only Southern restaurants in Hawaii-- and I can't imagine this is "authentic!"
YUM. Love me some sweet tea, too. Have you tried Kiss My Grits near UH? I prefer it to Dixie. There's also Soul, which makes really yummy chicken and waffles.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I really want some southern food now!! I live in Houston, but am from SC and it's just not the same here...
